ROUND 14 - Saturday 15th June 2019

This time last year I reported uninterrupted sunshine at virtually every event and it was often a case of looking for shade and factor 30. 2019 sees us return to a more familiar summer scene, none more typified than Gurston yesterday. On P1 we arrived at the top paddock with sheets of rain and wind lashing the remote holding area. By T2 in the afternoon, that same paddock was bathed in a warm sunshine with a dry and quick track. British summertime – you gotta love it!

Well nine BARC Connaught Speed Championship competitors did and here’s how they fared.

Gurston has always had its own quirky class structure, so our competitors were spread far and wide and we started with a class entitled B – ACSMC Registered Road Legal Cars, which saw David Brown in the Renault Clio take a good fourth place on 42.71 seconds in this eight strong section.

Next up was D – Midland Speed Championship class, which held three of our flock! It was Simon Jones in the Westfield SEiW that took an excellent second place in a class of ten on 36.05 seconds, only 4/10ths off the lead. Jim Hunt had been shuffled off into this one as well the BMW E30 lighting up its wheels in every gear in the wet to record 39.20 seconds for fifth place. Paul Boscott was also here with the venerable Elan +2, more than holding its own ahead of a 911 on 43.76 seconds for eighth place.

RESULTS – ROUND 14

4D – Roadgoing Specialist Production Cars was a more aptly named section and here Claire Tooth in the Lotus Elise took second place on a 39.75 seconds in a five strong class – a good performance.

As the classes move on it seems the titles start to get more appropriate and in 9 – Modified Series Production Cars Over 2000cc, Chris Edwards took the phenomenal Mazda 323 GTX to a great second place on 34.80 seconds, just 4/10ths off the lead. William Hunt in the Cossie Sierra taking fourth on 35.88 seconds.

Sports Libre Cars had been split at up to 1400cc and then 1400cc to 2000cc and Clive Wooster and the Radical SR4 was in the bigger class. As the up to 1400cc sector contained similar cars, Clive treated it as one big class. Still suffering sporadic gearshift issues, Clive sat out the worst of the rain in P2 and then did T1 on wets, so T2 was key and a 33.04 seconds took both his split and the notional complete Sports Libre Class for PB in this car.

Final runner was Phil Williams in Class 19 – Racing Cars 601cc-1100cc,the organisers seemingly now bored of exotic names. Phil in the Jedi MK4 took fifth on 38.23 seconds…

…and we finally dried out in time for the prize giving!
